Creekview Beats River Ridge 34-14

A number of different weapons in the air and on the ground assured Creekview its second victory of the year.

In the Creekview home opener, the Grizzlies wasted no time outscoring River Ridge 24-0 in the first half. Quarterback Hayden Hall had completions to Will Kirby (No. 26), Hunter Udall (21) and Connor Dulmage (5). On the ground, Isaiah Rogers (27) and Chandler Wold (18) moved the Grizzlies downfield. The second half continued Creekview's production. With the exception of a third quarter lapse that cost the Grizzlies a touchdown and another score for River Ridge in the second half, Creekview came out with a decisive 34-14 victory. The Grizzlies have set the tone for the season. Even with some difficult opponents ahead, Creekview has shown that it wants to have a winning season and plans to make a run for post season play.

Woodstock High to Open State's Football Season

Woodstock will play Johns Creek High in the first game of the state's 2012-13 high school football season.

Woodstock will play in the state’s first regular-season football game Thursday at home against Johns Creek in a game televised by WSB. The Cherokee Tribune reports that the game, originally scheduled to be played Friday, was moved up after Woodstock school officials got a call from WSB in the spring asking the school if it would be open to playing a day earlier. The Tribune quotes athletic director Scott Krug as saying it’s the prefect way begin the school year. “It’s going to be awesome,” he said. “Normally, the (Corky Kell Classic) games played at the (Georgia) Dome kick off the year, so were honored to host Johns Creek. It’s great to be able to kick off the whole state. Getting to play on TV is something that doesn’t happen often, or …

With a total of 7 schools in this region, this first year it was impossible to cover all of them but I intend to see if I can find a way to improve on that next year. Do you have any suggestions on people from the ICSGA who could provide scores going forward? I would appreciate any help I can …   more ›
